The Sportsman's unrivalled coverage of rugby league across men's, women's and wheelchair rugby league continues on Saturday with the Betfred League 1 play-off semi-final between North Wales Crusaders and Rochdale Hornets being screened live and exclusively on our website and YouTube channel.
The home side will be aiming to keep their hopes of promotion alive following last weekend's 26-12 home defeat to Doncaster in the qualifying play-off, which leaves them needing to beat Rochdale and the losers of Sunday's qualifying semi-final between Swinton Lions and Doncaster in order to reach the promotion play-off final on October 1/2.
The Hornets arrive at Stadium CSM on the back of a 38-24 win over local rivals Oldham in Sunday's elimination play-off, Gavin Bennion scoring two of their seven tries as Rangi Chase led Oldham on a merry dance for the second time this season.
Saturday's winners will be just 80 minutes away from the promotion final, which The Sportsman will also be screening live.
The semi-final kicks off at 17:30BST, with coverage beginning on The Sportsman website and The Sportsman Rugby League on YouTube at 17:15.
